nbc's andrea mitchell has been leading our truth squad. she zeroed in on one of mitt romney's most frequent attack lines on the president. take a listen. >> then the president began what i've called an apology tour going to various nations in the middle east and criticizing america. i think they looked at that and saw weakness. >> bob, let me just respond. nothing governor romney just said is true starting with this notion of me apologizing. this has been probably the biggest whopper that's been told during the course of this campaign. >> reporter: the president pushes back very hard on this. in fact, he never used the word apologize when he went overseas to cairo in 2009 explaining that he thought the u.s. had made a few mistakes in dealing with the world. many consider it a matter of diplomacy and nuance. romney points to several examples including when president obama said in 2009 that, quote, america has shown some arrogance and been dismissive, even deris sieve. romney claims that shows weakness which is harmful to the u.s. place in t

mitchell. we don't have you home for long, given your world travel and view of the world right now, what is the most urgent and pressing issue that could come up tonight? one that will live well beyond the debates? well, i think afghanistan and troops, tens of thousands, that is very important. but the most pressing issue right now seems to be syria, the united states can no longer ignore that situation, a huge hole that is sucking in other countries. so far 30,000 people killed in syria, and it is clear that that conflict is a regional war with other countries becoming involved. the bombing in beirut, many believe that syria was involved. and today, in jordan, officials say a soldier there was killed when the jordan troops clashed with the fighters crossing into syria, this is a situation that the president, whoever happens to be president will be forced to deal with. >> richard engel in the d.c. bureau tonight, and david gregory as we said at the top of the broadcast it is probably fair to sa

we get a check of some of the facts tonight from our chief foreign affairs correspondent andrea mitchell. andrea, good evening. >> mitt romney's switch to a more moderate foreign policy last night was clearly aimed at independent women voters. so called security moms. in the past, romney has taken a hardline on the possibility of military action against iran, to stop its nuclear program. last night he emphasized diploma diplomacy. >> a military action is the last resort. it is something one would only consider if all of the other avenues had been tried to their full extent. >> on syria, romney used to talk about the u.s. arming the rebels. then two weeks ago, he said the u.s. should help allied partners arm them. >> i don't want to have our military involved in syria. i don't think there's a necessity to put our military in syria at this stage. >> finally on benghazi after spending more than a month, including at last week's debate. relentlessly attacking the president for security and intelligence failures. last night romney was brief and unexpectedly mild. >> we see in libya, an attack

number one, we'll fact check with andrea mitchell some of what you raised. number two, i noticed a columnist for "the new york times" tonight tweeted out that this was an etch-a-sketch moment for governor romney. it was obviously a knock of the campaign story that came up about changing policy moving toward the center with an ease of erasing an etch-a-sketch. did you see that kind of movement on his part? >> again, i'm almost more comfortable, brian, leaving the politics to others, about what governor romney was trying to do tonight. but clearly, a big part of it, i think, was trying to communicate that he had the temperament to be a commander in chief. and the tone of the united states is -- i think he had a very strong line about no more iraqs or afghanistans. that i think he has understood that there is a kind of intervention fatigue. and the talk, for example, about iran was less about using military force than it was about tightening the sanctions. and again, you were kidding me about it before, but again, i found it striking how both gentlemen were tal
